Monitors at 165hz works in linux514 but not with linux510

Dear experts,

I’m currently on linux514 and noticed that linux514 will be EOL and tested linux515 and that one is not working for me atm: System works with linux514 but not with linux515. So I tried linux510 to make sure I have an escape route if linux514 is pulled and linux515 isn’t ready for me, but I run into an issue.

My screens are 2x 27 inch: MSI MAG274QRF-QD with 165Hz support.

Linux510 works with 60Hz (I have 3 options 165Hz, 120Hz and 60Hz, I haven’t tried 120Hz) or else it will not load the SDDM login screen or if I get pass that, it will not load the desktop. Most of the time it will not load the login screen and my monitors will go into standby mode and I don’t get them out of that state. If i switch my screen to 60Hz, it works!

I switch Hz via > System settings > Display and Monitor > Display configuration > Refresh rate.

At the moment I’m working in linux514, that works.

Current system specs: inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width.
